- oerleman0March 24, 2025This is my all time favourite movie. Love how the characters interact. It’s live on all levels.
- DonkeyFlixJanuary 1, 2026A movie that has a lot of heart, but with an overarching feeling of melancholy. Robin Williams has a fantastic performance as Garp. If you’re a Robin Williams fan I highly suggest checking this one out.
